writing files

[nikko50]

Hi there. I would like to write a new file on my server and write to it. Is the code below fine because the file mytext3.doc never gets written to the server. Thanks
Tracy

$test="hello";

$a= fopen("mytext3.doc","r+");
fwrite($a,$test);

r+ does not trucate nor create the file. If the file doesn't exist, you'll want w+...

Also, don't forget to fclose the handle when you're done writing...

Hello again! It now works. Why should I close the file??

Otherwise you leave it open and won't be able to access it.

Ahhh.. I see! You're the best🙂
